Performers:
Stefan Schilli - oboe
Failoni Chamber Orchestra
Pier Giorgio Morandi - conductor

The Hungarian Failoni chamber orchestra was established in 1981. On this CD and its companion volume they give their interpretations of a representative sample of Vivaldi's oboe concertos (Vivaldi wrote about 20 concertos for oboe and strings, several more for two oboes and strings, in addition to concertos where oboe is combined with other solistic instruments). On volume one, three of the concertos are scored for two oboes.
As with most other Naxos recordings of Vivaldi's concertos, the interpretations are lively and musical. Some of the concertos demand virtuosic skills from the players, which the two oboists here, Stefan Chilli and Diethelm Jonas, are able to fulfil with flags wawing. The recordings, which were made in the Festetich castle in Budapest, are excellent. The oboe's sound is rather prominent, but not uncomfortably so; this is no doubt due to the use of a modern oboe instead of a Baroque one.
Vivaldi's concertos are a good reminder that music does not always have to be deep, it is often enough for it to be charming, witty, and skilfully played.
One could recommed these CDs for the sheer beauty of the playing alone.
